While Apple can always appeal the latest ruling, this latest decision has a major impact on Apple and its competitors. For Apple, this decision shows it won’t always have a favorable ruiling in order to have an edge in the marketplace for its devices. For its competitors— namely the Samsung Galaxy S III, it paves a clear path for Apple’s biggest fear: “Samsung’s Galaxy S III phone is set to launch in the U.S… and Apple fears blockbuster sales”.

WOW. Does this mean that maybe the judicial system is tired of being a pawn used to suppress market competition?

I noticed in another post that Apple complained that Samsung was comparing their product rather than extolling its virtues. All I could say is what? All apple ever does is say the other guys suck.
Talk about the put calling the kettle black.

The Techconomist

Seriously, if Apple spent their legal budget on upgrading the iOS user experience to be as utilitarian as Android, they wouldn’t have to hire so many lawyers to block their competition. In the end, Apple is just hurting the U.S. by hindering the technology market overall. (I say iOS is less utilitarian because on my ‘droid, I can find a restaurant in one app and with 1 click, get it’s street address sent to another app that will give me turn-by-turn navigation customize for driving, bus, walking, or bicycling. Takes my friends with iOS like 5 clicks to cut to clipboard, open another app, paste, and then hit go.)
